POLSKIE ARCHIWUM MEDYCYNY WEWNĘTRZNEJ 2016; 126 (12) The information we now have about asthma management, asthma control, and particularly the more acute severe events, exacerbations, hos‐ pital admissions, and so forth, is actually very en‐ couraging. In Ontario, where I work, the risk, for example, of children being admitted to an emer‐ gency room and into a hospital setting for acute severe ...

Almost 20 years ago, Marc Weiser envisioned the prospect of computer in 21st century, and pr o-posed the pioneering notion of ubiquitous computing. One of Weiser’s primary ideas has recently evolvedto a more general paradigm known as context awareness, becoming a central research theme in many otherubiquitous computing programs. From Active Badge considered as the first context -awa...

The passive serum therapy of exper imenta l and clinical tumors, while f requent ly a t t empted , has met with only very l imi ted success (1). The elegant techniques of K~Jhler and Mils tein (2), enab l ing the produc t ion of vi r tual ly un l imi ted amount s of homogeneous an t ibody, have led to a reconsiderat ion of passive an t ibody t r ea tment for ma l ignan t disease. This interest ...

With ever-growing amounts of omics data, the next challenge in biological research is the integration and interpretation of these data to gain mechanistic insights about cellular function. Protein–protein and protein–DNA interaction networks served for over a decade as the workhorses behind those interpretation efforts, but their use was limited to topologically based observations. Specifically...

Clinical medicine is one of the most chal lenging areas for education. The develop ment of clinical competence requires the assimilation of large amounts of knowl edge combined with acquisition of clinical skills and clinical problem-solving ability. Clinical skills include the technical skill in implementing a procedure as well as skill in patient consultation and physical exami nation. Clinic...

BaCkgRound: Comparative effectiveness research (CER) is rapidly add-ing to the amount of data available to health care coverage and paymentdecision makers. Medicare’s decisions have a large effect on coverage andreimbursement policies throughout the health insurance industry and willlikely influence the entire u.S. health care system; thus, examining its rolein integrating C...

In previous issue of Hepatitis Monthly, La Torre G et al. from Sapienza University and the Catholic University of the Sacred Heart located in Rome, Italy, have published their findings on the incidence of hepatitis C virus (HCV) infections in Italy (1). In the Italian general population, they estimate that the overall trend, and also the trends in gender and different age groups, has decreased ...

the qajar era is of great importance in the socio-political history and in the history of architecture of tehran, because it was in this era that tehran became the capital of iran and turned into a big city, and then, because of its specific architecture, paved the way for some great changes in the architecture of iran. the qajar era is a period of contradiction in architectural values and atti...

In estimation problems, accuracy of the estimates of the quantitiesof interest cannot be taken for granted. This means that estima-tion errors are expected, and a good estimation algorithm should beable not only to compute estimates that are optimal in some sense,but also provide meaningful measures of uncertainty associated withthose estimates. In some situations, we might ...

In this paper, I describe research topics in my PhD-project Multimodal perceptually rich interfaces in transport. The project aims at exploring the use of multimodal interfaces, focusing on non-visual sense impressions in complex sociotechnical systems as the operation of high speed crafts. INTRODUCTION My PhD-project Multimodal perceptually rich interfaces in transport is part of an interdisci...
